My Digital Studio - Multiple Pages with one layout

I LOVE taking pictures. There are boxes and boxes of pictures from my pre-digital days. There are files upon files on my hard drive (and safely backed up on an off-site external drive) now that everything is digital. But I have almost none in photo albums or scrapbooks. Kind of overwhelming.

But I am finding that with My Digital Studio I am getting more pages done so I can have scrapbooks to give my children.

It was sort of a revelation to me that I can make multiple pages using the exact same layout for each of my kids by just changing the pictures. I am sure this is nothing new to a seasoned digital scrapbooker but it was for me. I spent some time creating the first page and then the next FIVE pages where done in a matter of minutes!

I started with this sketch:

And made my first page: (The background papers are from the geometric lines DSP pack - great for outdoorsy type layouts).

Then I inserted a duplicate page, deleted the pictures and in a matter of minutes I changed the pictures from one child to the next:

With just a few journaling changes I had 3 pages done each with unique pictures and details:

Next I inserted a duplicate page but as a mirror image. I again deleted the pictures, added new ones and rearranged a few things and a page to complement the first was done.

I added new pictures:

and changed a few words:

Three sets of double pages from one layout! Maybe there is hope to get some albums done yet.
